goatboy Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 So forgive me for asking something that may be obvious to everyone else -- but "wazzup" with the new rating each other feature? Is this just a "for fun" thing, or is it actually supposed to mean something (i.e. credibility, reliabilty, etc)? There are no criteria given for how to make the rating -- in other words, are we rating how funny the person is, how frequently they post (seems like that rating is already provided beneath each person's name), how much beer they drink at Pub Club, whether they can climb ice in sandals, or what? Seems to me that the rating of each other is simply an arbitrary thing that essentially does nothing positive for the board, and has the potential to send people to the battlecage (which happens often enough on this site without having built-in invitations to do so). Am I missing the point of this function, or do others out there agree with me? Having said this, I would like to add that I enjoy and appreciate the fact that this web-community exists, and I often get useful route info and entertainment from this site. I'm just not sure of the actual purpose or reason for this new rating feature. Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikerwa Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 i don't have a rating yet. I tried to rate myself, but that was not allowed.... bummer cause it would have ben 5 star! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboy Posted October 26, 2001 Author Share Posted October 26, 2001 As I revisit the thread I started, I notice that someone rated me as a "4". Thanks for that! But I'm still clueless about what this rating represents???? Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 It's the new I am more popular than you functionality that Holly asked for. You can even get photos of one another on the profiles. Look I should have a negative rating before the end of the spray. oops day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 There ya go boys! I just gave you both a 5-star rating... I'm not sure it really means anything, either. But nonetheless I think you deserved them for all the hard investigative work you've done on these enigmatic ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyclimber Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Hey, I didn't ASK for it. I asked everyone if we wanted it. And, that was a fun discussion. I am proud to have the same rating as Cavey. I must have some enemies. hgb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miker Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Well I don't have a rating, but I think Holly and Cavie have been vastly underrated, I give them each 6...5.5?? ok 5, but that is the lowest I will go. OK now I can go lower *hic* I love this not having to type all that [img()&%()*&^] stuff. miker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
